Review: Peru Hop, Peru’s first hop-on-hop-off bus service

A tale of two food tours: Devour Barcelona and Food Walking Tour Peru
Despite being of the ‘eat-to-live’ variety, we definitely enjoy trying new things while traveling. While not always weird, there’s a definite link between food and culture, and it’s one we sometimes explore. Start with Devour(ing) Barcelona Welcome to Devour...
Which of these archaeological sites in Peru will be the next Machu Picchu?
Peru’s Machu Picchu is hardly the only prize from the past worth exploring – in fact, with a trip to Machu Picchu costing the average visitor hundreds of dollars a day, there’s a very good chance you could enjoy all seven of these places for less than the cost of...
Destination: Trujillo, Peru – a creepy toy museum, a partially restored ancient city, old-school pots, and the continent’s longest mosaic mural

Or as I like to call it, one big damn rock. Also called la Piedra del Peñol (“the rock of Guatape”) or Peñon de Guatapé, la Piedra (“the Stone”) is one of the main attractions in Guatape, a daytrippable excursion from Medellin. Spend the night in Guatape if you like,...
